Four Kat kits, four Attack kits and a sample song for each. You can save the Attack kits to any program number you want, because of that we have made no program changes in the Kat. In the Drum`n Bass Kit you have two motifs on pad 7 and 8, everything else is self explanatory (hopefully). | 808attackkit.zip |
